The paint for an average car is about 6 quarts un-reduced.....8-9 after reduction(thinning). Some paints reduce 4:1 other 2:1,,,it depends on the brand and type(single stage,2K,etc) A GOOD paint will run at least $50 a quart plus the reducing agent. Then the time in prepping the surface of the car in question. That is anyone's best guess unless you are in the business and have the charts available to you that give that infor4mation. Those charts are for EXPERIENCED auto re-finishers. Not the average DIYer.

You will also need the supplies necessary,,,sand paper, cleaners, body filler, scratch filler, tack cloths, rags, prep solvents,etc.

An average car can be painted for about $800 in materials(for very good quality paint and clears) and an undetermined amount of time.

How much does a paint job for red cost?

Assuming that you mean a paint job on a car, the price of the paint job will depend more on where you go and what you're having painted. The cost of a paint job is heightened by the paint matching process; this depends on how many variants are in your paint code. unfortunately without a make or model of car i can't give you an accurate estimate but keep in mind that large nationwide autobody companies will tend to charge a lot less because they are more likely to have your particular colour on hand, which cuts the labour cost. Best of luck, try calling around for an estimate.

Red car insurance higher why?

No, it actually isn't higher... The only time a vehicles paint significantly effects the price of Auto Insurance is when you have a "Custom Paint" job and you have selected full coverage. This is because in the event of damage, a custom paint job is typically more expensive to repair than factory paint. White and black automotive paint is generally the least expensive colors of paint.
